![]() I’ve done the crystal mark tests and everything checks out nicely but it’s still not that much better for gaming. It has been faster, but not by much, for gaming, than my previous SATA or PCIe 3.0 m.2 drives. Now this was in part because I was on a budget when I did my build and could only afford the one PCIe 4.0 m.2 drive and I really wanted to see what it could do. Obviously I defer to anything Brent says but in my X570 build I went so far as to put my OS stuff on a SATA SSD and then my Steam drive is in the primary. Presuming a 2 drive approach where one drive is OS and misc programs and the other drive is a steam drive, which should be in the primary slot? The game load times would lead me to believe that the steam drive should be in the secondary slot, but would love to get thoughts on this. The PassMark PerformanceTEST Disk Mark benchmark continues the trend, though it isn’t as extreme here, with less than 1% difference. This test benchmarks Disk Sequential Read, Disk Sequential Write, IOPS 32KQD20, IOPS 4KQD1 tests and outputs an overall score (higher is better.) We are using PassMark’s PerformanceTEST Disk Mark benchmark only. The PCMark 10 bandwidth test continues the trend, with the secondary M.2 socket being 3% slower as well in the bandwidth test.Įven the access time is slower on the secondary M.2 socket at 70 versus 68, certainly pointing toward latency increasing. The drop in PCMark10 is 3%, for a test that is very consistent, this is a decent amount. Right off the bat, we find there to be a loss in performance running the exact same SSD off the secondary M.2 socket versus the primary socket, despite both being PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. It outputs an overall score (higher is better) that is derived from the Bandwidth (higher is better) as well as access time (lower is better) results. We are using PCMark 10’s Full System Drive Storage Benchmark. Game Load Time and Workstation Performance. ![]()
